The whirring and tumbling sounds float from under the door of my laundry room.

I need a nap!

Today, my friend Andrea is having surgery to remove lymph nodes and have them tested for cancer. On October 29th, she will have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery for a cancer that is currently contained. She is a mom of young kids. She is not giving "chance" an opportunity.

She is brave. She is strong. She is faithful. She has a strong and supportive network where she lives, including her family.

As you find a moment during your prayers or quiet time, please remember her. Today and in the next few weeks.

Inspiration

"He told me that the angels talk about me. I asked Him what they say. If you could hear them whisper in hushed and reverant voices, you would hear them say, 'How beautiful, how glorious, how highly favored is she for whom the Son of God, the Lord of Glory chose to lay down His life.'

This is the truest thing about me."-from Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge
